Who Watches the Watchers

Who Watches the Watchers?

Ever think about who watches the watchers? Many peope say that we do not need to keep tabs on the overseers, our government, or military. Sure there is supposed to be Senate oversight, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution. Well in the real world, we, the citizens watch the watchers.

The American people need to watch their government. If you do not like something, do something. If someone is hiding things on their own servers, back it up on your own server. Much of the data that moves around the world, goes over satellite, the internet, or telephone lines. This makes it pretty easy for us to keep an eye one government officials. Just as ISIS used social media to keep tabs on military personnel, or steals information and service records, this can be used by pretty much anyone in society.

Obviously, if you are the type that has that blinking 12:00 on your VCR, this may not be your area of expertise. But for those that can, a lot of this information is free for the taking. It's not just social media, much of the worlds traffic is transferred with little encryption or security measures in place. Get yourself some equipment, education and practice with it. You may be amazed at what is out there. Most of society has smart phones now, this is an easy way to watch the watchers.

The news has shown how a camera in the hands of a citizen can keep those that would harm you at a distance. Cameras and information are powerful tools. We have the power to monitor and keep our leader in their place. Better yet, vote them out of office. Stop listening to their scare tactics. Take ownership of your leaders, and watch them closely. If they feign ignorance, but the proof is out there, post it for all to see. Here is one method I use to keep tabs on some of the radio waves.

Shown here is a small listeing station, monitoring UHF satcom transmissions. Trivec satcom antennas and high end data capable radios allow for the logging of radio traffic all over the world. Forums online show how to set up your monitoring station, what works equipment wise, and how to get everything tuned just right. Just remember, we watch the watchers. We hold the power.
